Chapter 24 How about spending money?
Lin Zhengtang was still chattering, but Mrs. Zou noticed that her daughter looked wrong, so she slapped Lin Zhengtang, and then asked cautiously: "Myolie, did your father cause you trouble?"
Seeing the caution on Mr. Zou's face, Lin Xing took a deep breath and pretended to be calm, "It's not a disaster, but it's better to go out less in the future, especially places like gambling houses and restaurants. If you find that someone suspicious is watching you,
, remember to go to Nanluoguxiang and tell me."
Lin Xing wanted to give more instructions, but seeing that Zou's fearful look became more and more obvious, she couldn't bear to worry her, so she added: "Mom, I also know that the Zhao family has many enemies, and I am afraid that they will hurt you. As for Zhao Jie and I, we have
The Zhao Family Nursing Home will protect you, nothing will happen to you."
Hearing that her daughter would be fine, Mrs. Zou felt relieved and nodded in agreement, "Don't worry, I will definitely remember it!"
Lin Xing responded, and before leaving, she secretly left ten taels of silver for her, and told her not to tell Lin Zhengtang, and then asked Zhang Ping to send her back to the Prince's Mansion.
When she arrived, Zhou Yan had already returned first.
Although she didn't know what Zhou Yan talked to Luo Jingfeng alone later, Lin Xing believed that Zhou Yan would definitely protect his eldest son, so she didn't ask any more questions and took the initiative to talk about what she had asked Lin Zhengtang.
"If he is really heading towards Lin Zhengtang, then that young man must be the prince." She expressed her guess.
But as soon as he said it, Zhou Yan shook his head and rejected it.
"The prince should be in the capital at this time and cannot appear in Yuzhou." Zhou Yan's long fingers tapped on the table.
Lin Xing smiled and said, "I am just guessing that even if he is not the prince, that person must be related to the prince."
Zhou Yan couldn't comment and turned to look at Zhang Ping, "You should investigate this matter and be sure to find out the result."
After Zhang Ping retreated, Zhou Yan said: "I asked Luo Jingfeng about the private sale of salt, and it turned out that the prince arranged it himself. It seems that he is bound to win over the Zhao family. You and Zhao Jie should be more careful."
"With someone arranged by the prince to protect us, what do we, mother and son, have to worry about?" Lin Xing's eyebrows stretched and she smiled like a peach blossom, a little less sarcastic and a little more frank.
She was really angry when she knew Zhou Yanan was spying on her before, but now that she knew her situation, Lin Xing felt relieved.
The guards who were hired by the Zhao family with a lot of money may be unsightly in the eyes of the people sent by the prince. Only with the protection of people assigned by Zhou Yan can they be considered safe.
"Madam-in-law is not angry anymore?" Zhou Yan joked with a smile, "Since madam-in-law is not angry, then I don't have to worry about how to apologize."
"If the Crown Prince can help Zhao Jie win the first place in the Qingyun Club, I will be the one who should worry about sending the Crown Prince a thank you gift." Lin Xing raised the topic and reminded Zhou Yan.
Seeing the look of realization on Zhou Yan's face, Lin Xing knew that he had forgotten about this matter, but fortunately she always remembered it.
Zhou Yan was also happy. After thinking about it, he stood up and said: "It's better to choose a day than to hit it. There is not much time left in Qingyun Club, so let's start training today."
Lin Xing was so happy that she immediately took Zhou Yan back to the Nanluoguxiang courtyard and called Uncle Zhong to go to Zhao Jie's courtyard.
Before entering the courtyard, Lin Xing's eyes lit up when she saw Zhao Jie dancing with a spear from a distance through the moon gate.
But when she got closer, she realized that what she had just thought was an illusion. The spear danced in his hands so well that it was hard to describe. If it were a bone, a dog could dance better than him.
After all, Zhou Yan was an outsider. Uncle Zhong and Lin Xing looked at each other and looked away, not wanting to admit that the person in front of them was related to them.
Zhao Jie didn't have that kind of self-awareness. When he saw Lin Xing and Zhou Yan coming together, he ran forward happily and asked: "The prince can just see me dancing with the spear? What do you think?"
"Is this what you are best at?" Zhou Yan asked without changing his expression, glancing at the spear.
"Yes!" Zhao Jie admitted generously and looked at Zhou Yan expectantly.
The next moment, Zhou Yan turned around and looked at Lin Xing and Uncle Zhong, "How about spending money."
As soon as these words came out, there was only silence in the courtyard.
"Is it that bad?" Zhao Jie was quite hurt and looked at Lin Xing reluctantly, "Mom, you think so too?"
Lin Xing took the spear in his hand, turned around, picked it up, and slashed. Although the force was weak, it was as powerful as a rainbow.
She didn't say anything, but she already compared Zhao Jie.
After a moment of silence, Zhao Jie accepted his fate and said, "Uncle Zhong, go prepare some silver taels. No matter how courageous a person is, he will bow down to gold and silver treasures. I don't believe that I can't buy a leader of the Qingyun Society if I spend eighteen million taels."
!”
Lin Xing sighed, handed the spear to Uncle Zhong, and said: "If you can win the leader by spending money, the capital will not recognize the name of Qingyun Society."
Seeing her eyebrows sinking again, Zhou Yan comforted her, "Mrs. Sister-in-law, what you said is true. However, the final judgment of Qingyun Club is based on points. The number of rituals and music she performed will be the highest. If she can get the highest score,
We are leading the way in these two competitions, and there is still a chance of winning the championship.”
Lin Xing then remembered that she didn't even know the Qingyun Club's competition system, and couldn't help but curse the system in her heart for being useless.
Once you know the format, you can take the right medicine.
"Is the Crown Prince good at archery?" Lin Xing glanced at Zhou Yan and glanced around his arm curiously.
Most bows in ancient times relied on brute force to draw. The stronger the person, the larger the bow they could draw. Zhou Yan's little arms and legs could draw a bow of many stones.
Unexpectedly, he would be despised by Lin Xing. Zhou Yan kept laughing, "You will know after going to the martial arts field tomorrow. You can rest assured about archery. It is more than enough for Zhang Ping to teach him. However, these skills cannot be learned in a short time.
.”
"What's the math test?" Lin Xing asked.
Zhou Yan asked for paper and pen, and wrote down the test questions for the math subject in previous years on the paper. Lin Xing looked down and was instantly happy.
Doesn’t this just count?
"It's on me." Lin Xing patted her chest, confident.
Multiplication tables, vertical calculations, she... Lin Xing thought, and was suddenly stunned for a moment.
Why does she do this?
What did she do in the past? Why does she always feel that these things are not something she should know, but she still knows them very well?
Lin Xing didn't know if other time travelers would have amnesia, but she had indeed forgotten her past. She only knew that it was the place she wanted to go back to, but she didn't know why she wanted to go back.
Zhao Jie was still immersed in the joy of hope and immediately asked Uncle Zhong to arrange meals and entertain Zhou Yan well.
But Zhou Yan saw Lin Xing’s expression and after politely declined, he said to Lin Xing: “Can you trouble me, Mrs. Sister-in-law, to send me off so that we can confirm the time for our meeting tomorrow?”
Hearing the sound of Zhou Yanru Hanchuan melting snow, Lin Xing came back to her senses and nodded in response.
After leaving the door, Zhou Yan stood beside the carriage and asked in a low voice: "Mrs. Sister-in-law seems to have something on her mind. I wonder if I can take care of it?"
Lin Xing frowned, shook her head after a moment, and said with a smile: "Who can have nothing to worry about? It doesn't matter."
Zhou Yan smiled but did not answer.
